Iowa City City Council approves contentious Mormon Trek Boulevard, Dane Road rezoning

The Iowa City City Council voted to rezone land adjacent to an Iowa City family’s farm on Tuesday night.

The Iowa City City Council approved a rezoning ordinance on Tuesday night, leaving a local Iowa City family feeling disappointed. 

The council approved the rezoning of land into potential commercial developments located between Mormon Trek Boulevard and Dane Road, which the Dane family of Iowa City spoke in opposition to at previous council meetings. 

The council voted 6-1 in favor of the rezoning, with Councilor Pauline Taylor in opposition.

According to a staff report , the applicant for the rezoning still has to decide on a specific type of development, but the kind of developments that typically occur in the proposed zone include businesses that typically feature outdoor displays, such as car dealerships. 

During the meeting, the Dane family spoke of several concerns they had with the rezoning, all involving their family’s future plans to build a community park on land adjacent to the proposed rezoned land. 

Their main concerns included increased light and noise pollution and obstruction of the area’s scenic views that they believe would be brought on by any new commercial developments adjacent to the land.

At the meeting, Taylor agreed with the concerns the Dane family brought up to the council and said the land’s current zoning is more appropriate and conducive to future park plans.

“Our Strategic Plan calls for us as a city to provide high-quality open space for members of our community. You can’t find much more high quality than this space, as has been mentioned,” Taylor said. “It would be a shame to taint this beautiful vista with intensive commercial growth.”

The other councilors said they spent a lot of time considering their decision but felt it was necessary to rezone the land to benefit the future of Iowa City by bringing in revenue and traffic to the area with new commercial developments.

Councilor Laura Bergus said while she understands where the Dane family is coming from, she wants the community to know that the park will still be able to happen in the future, and the city has regulations in place to ensure commercial developments are not nuisances to the neighborhoods that surround them.

“This is not an easy decision. There’s obviously a lot of incredible legacy and concern and care for the area,” Bergus said. “But I really think that having an adjacent property owner along one edge veto a use that otherwise appears to be fully compliant with our [Comprehensive] Plan and our zoning code just wouldn’t be the right call.”

EBRD confirms Moscow road financing as battle rages

20 May 2011, Emerging Markets

The development bank said that it remains interested in financing a controversial Russian motorway project, despite violent attacks on protestors. The EBRD confirmed this week that it remained hopeful of financing future stages of the Moscow-St Petersburg motorway project, which has become the focus of the biggest Russian environmentalist protest in recent years.

The road will lay waste to an ancient oak forest and important animal habitats at Khimki, near to Moscow Sheremetyevo airport, critics say, and has aroused furious local protests.

Campaigners trying to obstruct illegal tree felling by contractors have in recent weeks been subject to waves of arrests and increasingly violent assaults by unidentified thugs.

The protesters’ cause has been taken up by European parliamentarians who say the beatings and arrests amount to serious human rights violations. Work on the road stopped in August last year after Russian president Dmitry Medvedev ordered an inquiry into the project. A commission came back with a recommendation to go ahead and work restarted in February.

The EBRD is not involved in financing the first stage of the project, but a bank spokesman told Emerging Markets that, while all projects have to meet EBRD standards, its interest in future stages of the project is “undiminished”.

The spokesman said: “The project is essential to link Russia’s two biggest cities and is very important for the Russian economy. The transport infrastructure is close to breakdown and the road development is desperately needed.”

But, he added, the EBRD “is opposed to the use of violence and expresses concern at the use of excessive force against demonstrators”.

The motorway project has been the focus of protests in Khimki since 2007. In 2009 leading campaigner Konstantin Fetisov, and two local journalists who backed the campaign, Mikhail Beketov and Oleg Kashin, all fell victim to near-fatal beatings.

The $1.8 billion first section of the motorway is being financed by Russia’s first public-private partnership, hailed at the time as a vital breakthrough in a country that desperately needs tens of billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure financing.

But the private sector concession holder, North West Concession Company, has also run into controversy. CEE Bankwatch, a campaign group that monitors public sector banking in the region, last month published a report on NWCC’s ownership: 50% belongs to Vinci, the French construction group, and a further 50% via offshore entities controlled by Russian investors.

Bankwatch claimed in the report that “the ultimate beneficiaries and shareholders of about one third of NWCC have been deliberately hidden from the public”. The lack of transparency, combined with environmental damage, should put the project off limits for the EBRD and EIB, Bankwatch says.

Campaign organiser Yevgenia Chirikova told Emerging Markets that a protest camp had been set up in Khimki forest with the aim of stopping illegal tree-felling.

“Violent attacks on us have reached a climax this month”, she said. “These people are bandits. Four people have been taken to hospital today after being badly beaten, two of whom lost consciousness. The police are nowhere to be seen when these criminals attack us.”

Moscow/Zelenograd and New Moscow

• 1.1 By plane
• 1.2 By train
• 4 Events, Festivals

Zelenograd and New Moscow are two large parts of Moscow city, that lie (often far) outside consolidated residential zone of the city, which lies within and just beyond the MKAD (Moscow Ring Road).

Zelenograd was added in Moscow in 1968 as one of the leading scientific centers. New Moscow was added to Moscow in 2012, forming Novomoskovky and Troitskiy Administrativniy Okrugs with plans of new vast expansion. New Moscow territory is yet to change according to its new city status. Even though suburbial kind construction intensifies in Novomoskovsky Administrativniy Okrug, Troitskiy Administrativniy Okrug still mostly has a rural feel.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

Vnukovo and Ostafyevo airports are situated in New Moscow proper, though from Ostafyevo airport you still have to go through the "old" Moscow. It is possible to get from Sheremetyevo to Zelenograd without going to the old city - you have to change to 400 minibus on Leningrad highway or on local train on Planernaya. From Domodedovo airport you'll have to go through the old city anyway (the route through Domodedovo and Podolsk will take more time).

By train [ edit ]

Local trains connect Zelenograd with Leningrad Train Station, Tver, Klin and Konakovo. Local trains from Kiev Train Station pass through northern part of New Moscow between Novoperedelkino and Krekshino. To go to Zosimova Pustyn you may want to go all the way to Bekasovo, but trains there are infrequent. It is possible to get to New Moscow through Podolsk, but you'll have to change to bus there.

By bus [ edit ]

Most frequent bus to Zelenograd is bus 400 from Rechnoi Vokzal. It has special pricing. Buses are primary way of public transport to get to New Moscow, new buses are often added. Most buses start from Yugo-Zapadnaya and Tepliy Stan metroes, and Podolsk train station. Troitsk serves as a bus hub.

By car [ edit ]

Zelenograd is accessible by M10 highway. Major highways in New Moscow are M3, A101, Warsaw highway Podolsk - Kresty (joining with A101), first "Beton Ring" A107 and Borovsk highway Peredelkino - Vnukovo - to join with M3. M10 and A101 are often highly congested, M3 may be less prone to it, except Moscow vicinity, and crossing with A107, A107 is congested near M3 crossing, which is northwest of New Moscow; Warsaw highway is congested in Podolsk, and you'll have to pass congested M2 to get there from MKAD.
